Migrant Crisis

1. Actually, many of us cared deeply way before that. You're just angry that lots more now suddenly care because of that pesky dead toddler.

2. Wow. How great do you sound right now? Take a look at yourself. You're refusing to help fellow human beings caught in a cirsis that you could never even imagine.

Seriously, how much skin is it off our noses to help some fellow human beings?

Who said he didn't want to help. I haven't seen him suggest we let people die. I think and this me speculating, he'd prefer we helped them in their country or neighbouring countries.

What's wrong with helping some of them here? Many millions of us in this country are perfectly willing to do this.
 

One thing I don't understand is why they aren't fleeing to countries like Saudi Arabia, Dubai etc.

Wealthy countries with the same religion, language and similar culture.

I'd guess because Saudi is pretty much a desert, and attempting to cross it on foot would likely prove even more suicidal than going to sea in a dinghy. And the Saudis probably behead more people than ISIS. ISIS themselves also control much of the territory they'd have to cross, as they'd have to go via Iraq or Jordan.

3 million of the 4 million refugees that have left the country are in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. The neighbouring countries. At least a quarter of the population of Lebanon are refugees.

There are 7 million on top of that internally displaced. It's an absolute catastrophe.

Projecting much? I'm not refusing help, just wondering why we have to bring them here as its that much further to go back when this HUMANITARIAN CRISIS is over. They will be going back? Right?
 
Because we need to deter them from coming.

Maybe we should mow a load down in a hail of bullets. Send out the right messages to those desperate people fleeing war, persecution and hunger. Show them we mean business.

That'll show those desperate people in their darkest hour that they were foolish to try to trick their way into our country with their genuinely terrifying personal circumstances. We can see right through their completely real nightmare and their dead children ruses.

Do you know why that child died? Because they tried to reach Europe.

We need to stop them from making that trip.

Process them in countries near them and then sort out the genuine refugees.

If they are genuinely seeking asylum then they stop in the first safe country, if they are economic migrants then they pay dodgy people to take them across the sea to Greece.
